They posted on FB they will give a pass good for a return any other day. May well check it out for two runs and if it bites take the free return pass and head for Blue.

Stop the thread. It's getting much too druggy.

And can sing real pretty and is really sweet. I was very lucky to meet her and have her accept my invitation to try out in June, though we are collaborators, not a couple. Also giving singing lessons to my daughters.

Taller than my kids for now. Hurts less when I fall.

And one of the originals we are recording for our CD

Here we are doing a cover tune

Rehearsals are for the recording sessions which are happening Dec 1, 2, 4-7, 15-23, 26. Sun I can't get all together at once so I first rehearse sax player, then bass player, then 2 singers, then drummer.

So would I if I didn't have a recording session scheduled for Sat eve and 9.5 hours of rehearsals scheduled for Sunday. Wherever I go I need to be in Lahaska by 7pm Sat. Which doesn't rule out Hunter but would make it a challenge and would leave me completely beat for the session if I did it.

Hmm, CB replied to my query a out conditions with a statement that they "vary" but offer a free return pass if unsatisfied with conditions in first hour. Maybe Blue after all. Or CB, followed by Blue, if CB sux and I use guarantee.

Definitely CB for me as Blue confirms no Upper Main St. tomorrow. I will complete my tour of the 1 TTB run open PA mts.

I will be all in black but with white poles. My skis have some fluorescent green at their tips. Say hi if you see me.

True they won't have anything open as good as Midway/Lower Main St. But they will have a better lift and probably less lines, and I already spent a day doing Midway / Lower Main St. Blue gets Upper Main open, I will be there.

Might consider this for Sat if Blue doesn't open Main Street. Then I will have done days on all three open top to bottom runs in the Poconos this season. Make up for no variety days by at least having variety between the days.

Snowmakers blog indicated they are shooting for upper main street too, which would double the fun, especially if they can get some bumps going.

Maybe a deal on a combined snow tubing / aquatopia ticket?

Saw Blue post on FB that same will be open this weekend as last with $39 tix.

You missed the announcement that tubing will again be open?

Probable for Sat.

Great day to ski as lines are non existent. Doe (now BC) used to offer free Xmas skiing, which were the only times I made it there, with Doe being free and Blue being closed.

I have tubed twice with my kids (both before they tried skiing). And took them to do it two other times since, once as a birthday party for their friends and once as something to do with cousins, but did not join them those times

More like woke up in the middle of the night because I went to bed at 9. Conditions were good on the open trail, softish at the start mashed potatoes by the end. No bare spots and wide enough if not tree to tree. No excitement, but a better first day for the kids for the season than I thought they would have had at Blue where they may have found Midway a bit rough and kept us riding the Vista list after one run down that. A good confidence boosting start to their season, and I could see them get better as the day progressed. One of them lapsed into pizza on the first run but both were doing confident turns on french fries by the end and hitting all the side whoop de doos by the end. Take the girls for something more challenging in 2 weeks, weather permitting.

Paid $30 for Shawnee lift ticket via online ordering on their website which was processed via liftopia, then my 2 kids skied free with their PA Ski passports. So $10/person.

Zero lines or crowds at Shawnee. Soft snow. One beginner TTB trail is fine for first day on skis this year for my girls. Turning to mashed potatoes as day goes on. No bare spots but coverage is not deep so it is questionable how good it will be tomorrow. But probably the right call for today. Taking a break after 8 runs, heading out for a few more.

Cool. I will hit Shawnee with kids tomorrow. Fine for a mellow first day of the season for them and will be less crowded and perhaps less skied off than Blue. And having skied the same route at Blue 9x skiing something else tomorrow will provide a little variety. Plus they have a high speed lift open.
